Are we truly transforming healthcare, or simply finding new ways to operate within the same outdated structures? Reflections from my conversation with John P. Carter on Perspectives with Pinnacle.
Most of the conversation about AI in breast cancer is about reading scans better. In the Gulf, the bigger problem comes earlier: too many women are never scanned at all, or are scanned with a tool that was not designed for them.
What happens when an AI model works perfectly and almost nobody uses it? For hospital leaders, adoption, not accuracy, is the real test of clinical AI.
Today's fertility patient arrives with eighteen months of wearable data, a personalised egg-yield estimate and an AI summary of her own bloodwork. The question is whether the clinic has moved as far as she has.

AI will not replace hospital employees. It will replace outdated thinking about what healthcare leadership means. The real question is how we put the human being at the centre of every AI decision.
